(54) | OPTICAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CONTROL RIGGING |
(57) Systems and methods for aircraft flight control rigging are described. An example
system includes a first set of laser rangefinders to measure, for each laser rangefinder
of the first set, a distance from the laser rangefinder to a respective target location
on a fixed surface of an aircraft, and a second set of laser rangefinders to measure,
for each laser rangefinder of the second set, a distance to a respective target location
on a control surface of the aircraft. The example system also includes a processor
to (i) receive signals indicative of the distance measured by each rangefinder and
(ii) generate a first plot line graphic of the measured distances of each of the rangefinders
of the first set to its respective target location and a second plot line graphic
of the measured distances of each of the laser rangefinders of the second set to its
respective target location.
